I’m grateful to Odd Ball Magazine for including my artwork, “Reckoning” in their June edition.

Please read and share.

Poem by Navah The Buddaphliii

“Reckoning”

Is a visual depiction of the marriage between conflict and symbiosis.

The Klansman and the nun are disparate individuals in appearance but share similar pronouncements of their faith.

Underneath the emblematic attire, stand two human beings whose deliberate convictions compel them.

In the end, both their decisions are subject to ethical adjudication.

Surrey driver feel the breeze Canting hooves on cobbled streets

Bay Street Nassau Downtown trot Keeping rhythm pulling cart

Handsome horse equine grace Earns his keep champion pace

Sunburned arms red as lobster Salt air streams into my nostrils

Bouncing springs squeak underfoot School boy selling papers shout

In the distance cruise ships peak Seaport closer at Potter’s Cay

Lignum Vitae national tree Shade the sidewalk watching me

A fancy little lady just as happy as a lark

Seduces with her eyes Just to compel a spark

Her face is pollen ridden, her arms are spread out wide

She blooms in the heat of summer, attracting butterflies.

The birth of the blessing starts in

hope and faith

A sacred place for the supernatural and

His loving grace.

A day of new beginnings

The universe beams with pride

She ushers in the dawn light

As the dark subsides
